We're gettin' a new toy!!!
« on: April 16, 2009, 12:53:44 AM »
Finally got approval in early March to order a new tinter  :D :) :D !!

It'll be our 2nd COROB :D.

Our existing big D600 COROB is "C2-specific"...set up with 16 6-qt. cylinders for C2's 16 colorants (2 banks of 8 canisters).
The NEW one is a slightly smaller COROB "Tatocolor" holding 12 6-qt. cylinders, but still pumps @ the same rate as the D600.

It'll be the primary tinter now for ACE/RL, bringing us back up to 3 auto-tinters total.

They're pretty cool underneath...there's 2 "transmissions" driving gear-pumps for the colorant canisters.
New computer comes with too!

Price....Uffda!...not much change from 15G's... :o 0:>)

What...no money$$$?!?!?
LOL!

Yeah...Fargo did 99% just fine.
Thanks to literally thousands of volunteers & Guardsmen from all over the place!
I didn't know there was so much heavy-equipment in the country...

The sandbag count...I've heard 5 MILLION all-in-all a few times :o :o :o!
Thank G*D for the Fargodome, where 2/3's of the sandbags were made!

Have you ever seen sandbag-laden Flatbed semi-trailers and dump-trucks full of dirt/clay get Police escorts...sirens blaring too?!?!!?
Pretty wild stuff...!

Some small towns west of Fargo (Valley City, Lisbon, etc.) on the Sheyenne river, are having quite a battle now though...ALL TIME record river flows. The snowpak melted so late there.
Even the big Chinook & Blackhawk helicopters are being used for bagging...they pick up & place these big 1-TON sandbags!!!
